Help with changing a MYW ticket to an AP

[TinkTatoo]

We have some non expiring MYW tickets with 2 days and 2 plus left on each, 2 adults and 2 children. Could someone give me any idea of how much it would cost to upgrate these to AP's or PAP's.

Thanks

Note that when trading in a MYW pass (used more than 13 days ago) towards an AP, the cash value is computed on a short rated basis rather than a pro-rated basis. That is, with 7 out of 10 days remaining, you get much less than 7/10'th the purchase price.

I don't know the exact formula or whether the starting point prior to short rating is a 2005 price or a 2006 price.

I am wildly guessing that you get the price of the last (two in your case) days as trade up value. For example if the pass originally had 7 days, the difference between a 5 day non-expiring pass and a 7 day non-expiring pass is $28. so the trade up value towards an AP is $28. (if they used 2005 prices). Almost negligible given the price of the AP, $442.

Meanwhile, used as-is on a 1 to 3 day vacation the remains of the aforementioned pass are worth over $60. per day.

MYW tickets are front loaded towards establishing their dollar value. That means that credit is determined the same way that the original sales price is determined ... but in reverse. When you buy the ticket, you pay less for the additional days you get. When you want to apply the dollar value towards a new ticket, the value is done in reverse. The cheapest addon day is the value of your first remaining unused day, the second cheapest is the value of your second remaining unused day, etc. Disney rightly considers you to have already used your most expensive days 1, 2, etc. so your credit is for the lesser amounts.

If you originally had (as an example) a 10 day base ticket and you now have 2 days remaining, your dollar credit will only equal the cost of adding days 9 & 10 to that original ticket. That could be as low as $6 for a base ticket, slightly more for PH or WPD&M tickets.

Take the old ticket to Guest Relations and let them scan it. They will tell you what your exact credit will be. Just be prepared for a lower figure than you may expect.
